Sitka Gold Corp. has intersected 159.2 metres grading 1.14 g/t gold, including a 7.3-metre interval of 8.89 g/t gold, within a broader 256.9-metre intercept of 0.84 g/t gold at the Rhosgobel deposit within its RC Gold Project in Canada's Yukon Territory.

The latest diamond drill assays from the deposit also include hole DDRCRG-26-063, which intersected 13.9 metres of 0.383% tungsten trioxide (WO3), confirming significant tungsten mineralization. Step-out drilling has traced the near-surface reduced intrusion-related gold system across a strike length of approximately 1.6 kilometres, with the deposit remaining open along strike and at depth.

Hole DDRCRG-26-067 returned 102.2 metres of 0.57 g/t gold, including 22.1 metres of 1.03 g/t gold, extending known mineralization up to 350 metres east of the easternmost drilling completed in 2025. Subsequent holes with assays pending have intersected similar mineralization a further 60 metres to the east.

Sitka Gold completed its 100% acquisition of the Clear Creek Property from the Receiver of Victoria Gold Corp. in August 2026, consolidating the 447-square-kilometre RC Gold Project under single ownership.

"The latest results from Rhosgobel continue to underscore the robust grade and scale of this exciting gold deposit," stated Cor Coe, CEO and Director of Sitka Gold. "Hole 071 delivered another outstanding result, intersecting 256.9 metres grading 0.84 g/t gold , including 159.2 metres grading 1.14 g/t gold and 7.3 m of 8.89 g/t gold , while step-out drilling continues to successfully expand gold and tungsten mineralization well beyond the limits of the current 2.25 million ounce gold resource."

The company currently has seven diamond drill rigs turning across the project as part of an active 60,000-metre drill program for 2026. Approximately 45,000 metres of diamond drilling has been completed across 101 holes to date, with assays pending for all remaining holes.
